Recent Developments

 

Through a statement issued by Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena SpA (“MPS”) and various press reports, Nomura International plc (“NIP”) believes that MPS is challenging in Italy a structured finance transaction entered into in 2009 by the parties and seeking from NIP and other non-Nomura defendants compensation for unspecified damages sustained or to be sustained by MPS in connection with that transaction. As of the date hereof, NIP has not received service of process relating to this matter. Due to the lack of information available to us and the uncertainties involved, at this time we cannot provide an estimate of reasonably possible loss, if any, related to this matter.
